Jim Moginie: Murmurations

Jim Moginie (Midnight Oil), returns solo to MAG&M to launch his new album, Murmurations.

Jim’s intuitive composing and masterly guitar playing come to the fore in this new work. Inspired by a natural phenomenon that he witnessed in Ireland – the mass gatherings of starlings that occurs during winter evenings – this quiet music, played live and completely solo, resounds with ethereal tones that comfort and surprise.

Moginie himself says of the performance: “Those random movements, sometimes repetitive, that in the language of a singular guitar I sought to echo nature. I flatter myself to think I could come close.”

‘Murmurations’ makes a hushed musical landscape for the mind to wander within, with a precision of playing that is somehow deliberate yet completely improvised, shifting from single notes to chords that tap out a rhythm that holds or dissipates. Ambient, jazz tinged, orchestral. The music challenges our imagination, beckoning it to explore diverse emotional terrains.

Price includes nibbles and wine provided by MAG&M event sponsor, Little Ripples.
